Hi,

I opened a new 3dsMax file and Import/Merge an object in it.
When I opened the “Material Editor” Window of the new file, it is empty.

How can I get the material of the merged object?

Is there a way to import/merge an object and their materials as well?

Thanks in advance for any help

Use the “eyedropper” to grab the material off the object. Merely merging or importing won’t put the material into the editor.
